1. Product Name ALPOLIC Aluminum Faced Composite Panel 2. Manufacturer Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America, Inc. 401 Volvo Parkway Chesapeake, VA 23320 (800) 422-7270 Fax: (757) 436-1896 E-mail: info@alpolic.com www.alpolic-northamerica.com 3. Product Description Basic Use ALPOLIC is a lightweight, rigid, bendable and durable aluminum faced composite panel widely used as an interior and exterior wall cladding in commercial and institutional applications. It offers design flexibility through a wide variety of fabrication techniques, including panels into curves, angles and pan configurations. Composition & Materials ALPOLIC panels consist of a core of thermoplastic material thermally bonded to face sheets fabricated of aluminum 3105 H14 alloy, 0.020" (0.5 mm) thick or an equivalent. Types Several types of ALPOLIC panels are available, including: ALPOLIC standard panels ALPOLIC A-LOOK reflective finish panels ALPOLIC Stone Series simulated stone finish panel ALPOLIC Timber Series simulated wood finish panels ALPOLIC Decorative Metal panels ALPOLIC Natural Metals copper mill finish panels ALPOLIC anodized class 1 finish panels Sizes ALPOLIC panels are available in 3, 4 and 6 mm thicknesses, in standard widths of 50" (1270 mm) and 62" (1575 mm) and standard lengths of 122", 146" and 196" (3099, 3708 and 4978 mm). A range of custom sizes is available: Width - 32" - 62" (813 - 1575 mm) Length - 76" - 24' 2" (1930 - 7366 mm)

Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America, Inc. Finishes Lumiflon FEVE resin based fluoropolymer coil coat meets performance requirements of AAMA 2605 (standard) Kynar PVDF resin based fluoropolymer coil coat meets performance requirements of AAMA 2605 (custom) Polyester Class I anodized - Clear, along with other colors Standard ALPOLIC with Lumiflon FEVE fluoropolymer finishes are available in a broad spectrum of gloss levels, from 30 - 70%. Contact the manufacturer for minimum quantities and availability. Lumiflon, in its ambient cure spray product, allows close-matching field touch-up and recoat. A-LOOK Series offers an array of reflective surfaces for interior and exterior application. Stocked colors are chrome, gold and bronze. Stone Series is a simulated stone fluoropolymer finish combined with fluoropolymer colors in white marble and red, pink, white and black granite finishes. ALPOLIC Lumiflon FEVE colors are available in full gloss range with minimum 1000 ft2 (93 m2) coil coated orders. Allow 8 weeks for shipment of custom colors. Complete custom color matching, available in ALPOLIC Lumiflon FEVE coatings, is subject to minimum order quantities. A selection of stock fluoropolymer colors is available in a quick ship program in 4 mm panel thickness. Quick Ship stock 4 mm thick ALPOLIC panel selections. Contact Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America, Inc. (MPCA) customer service for color and size availability. Shapes & fabrication ALPOLIC panels can be cut, routed and formed with conventional woodworking tools. Angle bends are formed by routing the back of the panel prior to shaping. The common pan shape is formed by routing the back edges, trimming the corners and bending and reinforcing the edges. ALPOLIC can be rolled on a pyramid or 4-stand roll bender to a curved shape for curved corners or column covers. Bumping on a press brake also can be used to produce a curved surface. The bending radius of ALPOLIC 4 mm panels is as small as 2" (51 mm). Corner radii can be detailed as small as 1/8" (3.2 mm) using the back routed method described in ALPOLIC literature.
